enA Quote by C.S. Lewis on poison, earth, and tellushttp://blog.gaiam.com/quotes/authors/cs-lewis/60939
<p>"The poison was brewed in these West lands but it has spat itself everywhere by now. However far you went you would find the machines, the crowded cities, the empty thrones, the false writings, the barren beds: men maddened with false promises and soured with true miseries, worshipping the iron works of their own hands, cut off from Earth their Mother and from the Father in Heaven. You might go East so far the East became West and you returned to Britain across the great Ocean, but even so you would not have come out anywhere into the light. The shadow of one dark wing is over all Tellus." -Ransom</p><div class="field field-type-text field-field-quote-source">
